Question

identify the combining form lingu/o with its closest definition. multiple choice lip intestine tongue colon

Explanation:

In medical terminology (and also in linguistic roots related to language/tongue), the combining form "lingu/o" is associated with the tongue. "Lip" has a different combining form (e.g., "cheil/o" or "labi/o"), "intestine" has forms like "enter/o", and "colon" has "col/o" or "colon/o", so "tongue" is the correct match for "lingu/o".

Answer:

C. Tongue
